Several weeks ago Savage Merchandising released a new product: canvas pouch sets repurposed from leftover apron material. We were curious how Adam was using them himself for travel, and so we asked him to show us ... and you. How would you organize YOUR set?

Not gonna lie I saw the title and though you were building a dopp fighter model kit from Gundam
As a bowler for 30 years, I INSTANTLY recognized the New Skin bottle! Bowlers use it for callouses and blisters on their fingers, mostly the thumb. That smell brings back so many amazing memories, growing up in and around bowling alleys. I can smell it just thinking about it. ^_^
@@AristophMarloque You're not a hardcore bowler unless you light the Nu-Skin on fire to speed the drying process! 😄
lol Adam shows a little vial of flake salt in his travel bag and I'm like "WOW YOU TOO!!!!" 🤣
I was listening carefully to the Salt explanation... Adam is 100% legit.
You should have Adam review some of your gourmet salt crystals :))
In case you're curious, Dopp kit comes from their inventor Charles Doppelt:
A German leathersmith who immigrated to the US in the early 20th century, and invented the leather toiletry bag in 1919. Dopp kit is a registered term for a toiletry kit.
Very surprised it's not a backformation from the Hindi word 'dhobi' (washing/cleaning) still used in the RN and British army.
Dhobi kit = toiletries. Dhobi dust = detergent powder.
Huh, learned something new today.
So Kleenex?
@@harbl99 Its also known around these parts as a "stand-up wash" in the sink when showers/baths are unavailable for whatever reason.
First time I've heard the term dopp kit. I've always known it as a ditty bag.
And to think I did a Google search before even clicking the video xD
Thanks for *attempting* to save a lummox like me some time!
Adam is as always spiritual animal. "Why is this adapter here? It should be in cables!" * proceedes to chuck it back into the wrong pouch *
♥
Yes he is, my logic was also wanting the spare headphones in with the cables.
lol
if you loose pouch nr 2 but still have nr 5 then it makes sense
Right?! I actually said out loud “Put it in cables then, you cxxx” - cxxx being an affectionate term reserved for people close to my heart, obviously.
Images of Adam explaining his little vial of salt to airport security 😂
😂
Yes dop came from the designer's name and when buying luggage back then common saying I'll take the whole kit and caboodle meaning the shaving kit and the little suitcase for all of the ladies grooming
Yep, along with the little spoon. Thought the same thing. 😂😂
Some Celebrity Privilege there.. a large portion of the population cannot carry a small unlabelled vial of a white flaky substance through airport security..
Yeah ,Too bad I'll never know what the syringe is for😕
"I don't know why this is here, should be in cables"
Puts it back in the same bag! 😂
someone else’s charger and food are often occur together. might it be said that the place you left something is the most likely place you will need it again? 🤷♂️😂
As a Chef I completely understand with his "Comforts of Home" bag, salt, sugar, extra utensils? Maybe a metal straw, some hot sauce? Really great idea for a bag!
I always keep a foil pouch of "chili seeds" in my wallet, for my wife. Any time I break it out for her, I'm an instant superhero.
yes,,,hot sauce
It's an excellent name.
You can get little mini bottles of Tabasco sauce. They are essentials in a travel kit to pep up any food.
In my edc pack I have a hard sided pencil case I keep all that in. I used to have it in a soft bag but after a pack of mayo busted in it basically ruining everything in it I only use a hard case now.
Being a maintenance technician I can see this being very handy in organizing the mayhem that is my tool bag👍 Very great solution for using the extra canvas👊
As a British man, and more specifically a Yorkshireman, it really does make me chuckle when Adam uses the word "shite". 😁
As a fellow British man, I also chuckle at his use of "shite"
He frequently throws Britishisms into his speech or dips into a horrendous but well-intentioned Scottish accent. It's adorable
American here...my dad always said it that way...as a kid it somehow seemed less naughty...more proper. I guess because over here we obviously said it different. So it just didn't seem quite like the same thing.
I did a double take and went back to make sure I didn't mishear what he said.
Same here, I’m a Brit and often say that word, I like it when Adam says it, makes me laugh 😆 I noticed he used to say “bloody” on Mythbusters several times, unexpected in the US, make him just that little bit more relatable to the brits lol 👍🏼
While I do not have your very nice bags, I have been using similar bags for the last 45 years. They started out being a few Shure Microphone bags holding tools and audio adapters. When I started traveling a lot in my career I needed more so I bought vinyl bank money pouches. Very inexpensive. I like them because I can put light colored gaff tape on the side and label them. Like you I have bags for cables, tools, pens, etc. Now that I am focused on video, I have bags for camera supplies, lav supplies, small grip hardware.
I do not use one for toiletries (dopkit). Instead I use an audio cassette bag because it has a top flap that folds back exposing what is inside. That way I rarely have to dump it out to find things.
Great video!
Biggest surprise of the video: Adam owns a comb.
Ha!
Thank you Adam, very cool video . Nice use of the leftover canvas. Keep on being as great as you have always been. You are a man of great importance
Like a little glimpse into Adam’s personal self. Loved the idea of the little bead to keep something of home and his past memories with him always!! I’m going to have to pick up a set of those bags! So useful.
The most mundane things become so much better when Adam is relating to them. This is viewing GOLD.
My wife found a real vintage leather DOPP-branded dopp kit for me for Christmas last year. These Savage Industries ones look way better than anything on the market today but I gotta say the vintage one I have now is really, really cool. Has a hidden hinge closure that I have no idea how it works but it's awesome.
Used to be a auto mechanic and never had enough different assortment of bags, chest, even had an apron. But keepint clean wasnt my goal just having easy accessible and organized kits for different jobs. I as well had some medical stuff in my kit. Thanks for sharing and giving us great content Adam Savage.
Great video, Adam! I had to smile at your comment about carrying around file cards. I’ve been doing that for 30 years as an engineer. Also, what might be of interest is that I will cut manila file folders, which I am no longer using, to include the fold, making the cuts the same size as a file card. This gives me four sides to write on, opens like a book so to speak, and will fit in my shirt pocket.
Not so much using the stuff you have made but the advice you have given has reinforced things other people have suggested. For example in a recent video you mentioned that part of your process is to break down large tasks into smaller tasks. Others in my life have been suggesting this for years but it hasn't quite sunk in until now with someone I respect (you) also suggesting it. So thank you for that. Now I find myself thinking more often that if a task or goal seems unsurmountable, break it into smaller steps and go from there.
It's weird but they remind me of those numbered boxes from the old Thunderbirds TV show, where each held a handy gadget for a specific situation.
Exactamundo!
That is also the first thing I thought! Thunderbird 2 pods. Which is why I am considering the purchase. I just need to pick the right bag for the day.
This video rivals women's what's in my bag videos. Straight to the point and makes so much more sense than most! Thanks i love those bags by the way
I'm so glad to see this! I've been using ziplock freezer bags for years when packing for a trip.
I learned about using Ziploc freezer bags in the Boy Scouts WAY back in the 1970's and 80's.
I then continued the practice during my time in the National Guard, ending up the only person with dry socks, underwear and toilet paper on a rainy weekend.
If I'm going to be in or near water, I will put my wallet and phone in a quart freezer bag to keep them dry.
I was going to say something similar to what MonkeyJedi99 said. This was Marine Corps training...so instead of just me...we all did this. Zip lock bags water proofed our gear in our Alice Packs
I find it quite interesting to see this, because I always carry the equivalent of your No. 1 and 2 in the form if two 1L ziplock bags, respectively marked "Urban Survival 1" (toiletries, medication, earplugs, a pen and post-its), and "Urban Survival 2" (charger, cables and adapters).
And then my penbag makes No. 3 :)
I recall, up the jungle in South America - "Can I borrow your mending kit" - "Of course dear boy - it is in the Hello Kitty bag, easy to find in my gear pile." "Nice."
Yeah, I do the same thing with clear plastic pencil cases (no offence to Adam but the day I spend the equivalent of $125 to achieve the same thing, Hell's denizens will need mittens :).
Been waiting patiently for these to come back for sale.
I find this video funny. About 4 months ago I started to use small canvas bags to hold small items in not only my production gear but for my personal life..
It is good to see I am not alone in the way I travel and organize.
Wow, this gave me some good ideas for my travel setup. It's evolved a lot over the last few years (mainly being prepared for any tech or medical eventuality) but I haven't really gotten to the point yet where I think about stuff like the suger, salt and other small conveniences. I'll get it all sorted one day!
I have not travelled since I got them other than to work. I ride a commuter rail train in so my absolute no 1 is power.
No 1 power: It not only has adapters and cables it has the largest juice box you can legally take on a plane. The trains don’t always have outlets and if they do they don’t always work. The phone acts as a hotspot so that’s a pretty big drain on it.
No2 has noise cancelling headphones and another case inside for my backup fountain pens.
My semi dopkit is a savage industries grey small pouch I’ve had for a while. Tic tacs, masks, advil, floss etc.
After watching this video I’m going to do a comforts of home. Such a great idea. I have a titanium spork. Love the idea of sugar and salts.
Thank you so much for producing these pouches. Amazing.
Just picked up a set. Can’t wait to put em to use!
I have a couple sets of Klein canvas bags that I’ve used for several years. They come in various colors. I keep one with electronics, one with a fishing kit and another with a drop kit, one with screwdrivers.
Those green canvas bags look really nice.
A few other calls for color-coding (via zipper). Different color webbing loops at the corners would be a good option that maintains the blue zipper. (maybe even just one corner, so you can also know which end to find the zipper pull to open/close it.) Another idea might be to add a divider/inside pocket in two or three of the set. Keep index cards away from the pens for example.
No. 1 is my IFAK. I never go anywhere without a first aid kit. I won't list all the contents, but as a first aid instructor, mine is pretty extensive.
No. 2 is my toiletries. For obvious reasons.
No. 3 is my electronics. Cables, wall warts, USB drives, spare batteries, laser pointers, flashlight et al.
No. 4 is my stationery. Notebooks, pens, pencils, business cards, that sort of thing.
No. 5 is what I call mission-specific, but most people would call "junk." If I'm going on a work trip, ID badges and swipe cards go here. A tiny folding screwdriver kit, glasses repair kit, spare face mask, emergency cash. If I'm flying, this also holds my pocket knife. Anything I'm travelling with that I will only need for this one trip.
I have my grandfather's dopp kit bag from ww2, this video made me smile 👍
Oh! Do you know what he kept in it?
@@tested it came to me with a folding pocket knife with wooden inlay, a double edge razor the type with the twisted handle where the blades go in the top, his medals, pictures of him on Guam, a small silver compass, mixed paper ephemera, buttons, coins and lots of memories 👍
As a Brit, I'm so pleased to see that Adam, likes a nice cup of tea. I also like how he uses the word Shite!.
I have some microphone bags that I travel with sometimes.
The battery bag for family trips is clutch. It's full of batteries and possibly some flashlights for the kids to use.
I also store cable connectors in mic bags-- one for 1/4" and one for xlr
... Adam, you are officially the first and ONLY person I've ever seen that ALSO carries a vial of flake salt with them... I never thought I'd meet another, this has been weirdly validating.
I have two tiny grinders that I keep in my purse, one for Pepper, one for salt, found it on Amazon and they go everywhere with me.
I don't have this specific set of bags, but I have about a dozen very similar ones in my camera assistant kit that I use on set for documentaties and commercials.
1. Turning tools: allens, small screwdrivers
2. Measuring tools: tape measure, small level, etc
3. Lens cleaning: pancro, kim-wipes, microfibers, zeiss wipes
4. Other tools: small hammer, folding fan, head lamp
5. A lightweight rain jacket
6. A yellow reflective safety vest for working near roads
7. Misc cables (SDI and HDMI)
8. Misc 15mm rod accessories for camera mounting
9. Camera/grip studs of various forms
10. Multimeter
11. Pens, dry erase markers, and double-ended sharpies
12. Extra loose allens
13. First aid kit
I just want to say that a good bit of scratch paper can be invaluable in so many parts of life. I'm constantly interacting with customers and while I do know a dozen or so signs and I'm always learning more. Scratch paper is so useful for communication as well as getting down ideas, and making notes.
Oh i loooove pounches. This was an utter delight
I use Klein canvas tool pouches. I dye them myself with Rit dye. Very similar.
They are also in my carry around tool bag to keep imperial wrenches in one, metric in another, sockets in another, pliers type tools in another, and then screwdrivers. All in various colors.
I use bags similar to that for my toolbox. I have a screwdriver bag, a metric wrench bag, standard wrench bag, socket and driver bag, and then misc tools bag. And then all the meters and other electrical test instrumentation.
This is essential if you travel with tools. Because it enables you to FIND the tool you need. I'd carry more, but the bags actually add weight and bulk, so i can only justify so many. Silly box weighs 57 lbs now, i really need to lose some weight.
Unfortunately titanium hand tools are stupid expensive.
From Wikipedia: "The word was coined by leatherworker Charles Doppelt, who patented the idea of "Dopps" in 1919 and marketed them locally before landing a contract with the US Army during WWII.[1] Dopp kits were once a common gift given to young men as they ascended from boyhood to adulthood."
100% on those index cards. I've tried various "note apps" on the phone, but it just doesn't click with my brain properly.
There's something about the freedom and tactileness of implement on stiff paper that feels right. Plus I'm as old as you are, and might be a wee bit set in my ways.
I dunno, there's a reason paper of some form has lasted thousands of years, it's a pretty good technology (it only really lacks the easy backup electronic notes allow).
(one of the reasons I still carry a notebook is, you can _leave_ a note - i've found doing that with a phone quickly gets pretty expensive :)
I have an equivalent but I use Ikea small roll up dry bags. But they have numbers on them
- No 1 is toiletries - toothbrush and paste, deodorant, Lush shampoo bar in a tin (because you can also use it as soap and at a pinch even wash clothing with it), medication (prescription), foam ear plugs, torch and a little silicone leaf cup (so I've always got something to drink out of to take my meds). Also keep a metal portable travel hotel door lock in there as well
- No 2 is my "emergency" kit - First aid kit (plasters (fabric, blister and blue catering ones), painkillers, indigestion tablets, alcohol wipes, roller bandage, triangular bandage, scissors, safety pins and tweezers). Plus sunblock in an applicator (Solar Buddies are the bomb!), a couple packs of pocket tissues, Kendal Mint Cake (I have a friend who suffers from non diabetic hypoglycaemia and mint cake is pure sugar), a couple of those single use plastic rain ponchos and some chemical hand warmers. Even though I'm a guy I also keep some sanitary pads in there. Not only in case someone is caught out, but also you can use them to mop up spills, soak in water and freeze for use as an emergency ice pack or eye mask or even as extra absorbent stuff for first aid. Once even gave one to someone who's high heels were rubbing after a night out as extra padding in her shoes. Also some ziplock bags to be able to seal stuff up if there's no-where to dispose of things where you are. First aid kit and ziplocks are in their own smaller bag so I can pack just that if I need to.
- No 3 is what my goddaughter dubbed the "yummy bag" - Tabasco sauce, a small tin of leaf tea, a silicone tea strainer, and individual Kikkoman soy sauce sachets.
- 4 is my "bits" bag - phone charger, multi bit stubby screwdriver (Rolson), more ear plugs, spare roll up water bottle, zip ties, notebook, sharpie, retractable pencil, yellow gaffers tape (works as well as regular plus it's visible!!!), folding rucksack (Onya), spare cheapo headphones, spare torch, spare batteries, and a travel sewing kit
Interestingly enough I had something similar saved on Amazon, then I saved this video to watch later. Finally ordered them yesterday. Hope they’re as useful as these.
I love salt too, one of my favorites is Sel Gris Grey Salt. Works great for everything and fantastic as a finishing salt. It’s expensive though but totally worth it.
In the kitchen I have only the coarse salt.
It does work for me 95% of times, and when I need a finer grain, I use mortar.
Mortar is my No.2 tool after a knife. I like all my spices freshly ground.
And for oily spices I do grind them with some salt, so the salt collects the oils.
I don't have a set of matching/numbered pouches, but I have long traveled with a set of mismatched pouches I have picked up/made over the years that by and large follow a very similar organization scheme. The only one I don't regularly have is a "miscellaneous" pouch, which is not something I had considered and may now adopt, as it actually solves a few minor annoyances with my current system quite tidily.
I use mostly plastic zip bags.
My charger kit for travelling always stay in the overnight bag even at home, no exceptions. A very thin 5m euro-euro extension cord, a 2 USB-C+2 USB-A 100W charger and different very thin 2 meter USB cables for my devices. Never met a hotelroom or airbnb yet that has defeated me and left me unable to charge next to the bed.
Always a full roll of toilet paper in a ziploc bag squished as flat as can be. That one has saved me a few times.
A compact very well equipped first aid kit bag.
Toiletries and medications in their own small bags.
A multi tool.
Overnight bag is a quite old Billingham 335 camera bag, maybe late 90s.
I have the 2 bag set from Savage industries that are made from the recycled sails. I use the small one for toiletries and the large for tech cables and chargers. Funny seeing Adam doing the same thing.
I work in desktop support and we give users headphones to use. They come in these mesh bags with a zipper. Well, whenever someone leaves the company or when they need a new set, we throw the old pair out and keep the bag. I have about 3 or 4 kits that I have made for my GO bag. Med-kit, cables and chargers, small screwdriver and spudger kit and also a misc. I like to repurpose bags and containers as much as possible.
I need to see the organized chaos of a cooking stream from Adam Savage.
I do the same thing - I always have a small notepad and a pen or pencil with me, especailly when I'm working or traveling, because (as a photographer) I may want to make notes about a particular location or shot, but also to jot down other ideas because there have been times when something inspired me to want to create something else, but if I don't write it down or make a verbal recording of the idea, I'll forget and it will bother me later when I can't remember. I also take this a step further and carry a small inexpensive voice recorder (I could use my phone, but I like the voice recorder better) to make verbal notes especailly if there is a lot of into to take down, so I can listen to it later (the reason I like the voice recorder is also for lectures; I can leave it running, whereas a phone might time out or whatever during a lecture, so it's nice to have a way to make notes in written form, and also verbal form, and then if I need a video note, I can just use my phone if needed, but mostly use audio and written notes). So I'd say if you're a creative, having a notepad (can be small, or even note cards) and a pen/pencil (or assortment) is very important. The sound recorder can just be extra, as some people may not need them, but I would consider note cards/pad a necessity.
I have a savage industries sliding T-Beval, one of my favorite things 😅
I love kit #4! I'd add pepper though!
Love the comfort bean
You look good and this is fun!
"My interface with the world includes lots of abrasions."
Yeah, we have seen you use your lathes/etc :)
Have you thought of using a large carabiner through the loops of all five so you can handle the entire set at once? I get small see through plastic mesh bags from Daiso and synch them in my bag with a carabiner.
They make cables that charge multiple devices/types at the same time. Love mine for traveling.
Except for a trip to the gym or something of the sort I always carry a pen and note cards as well. Super convenient, you don't realize how often you would take notes until you have the capacity to do so
"What has it gots in its pocketses?"
I subdivided my toiletries into two bags. First is my dental routine and second is everything else.
When I arrive late at night to a hotel, I only care about brushing my teeth before bed. It’s one less thing to organize before sleeping.
I really want to see this for the white pouches - they look like ISS storage bags, but adapted for everyday use, and I really want to see someone demo them in a video!
Ok, i am happy my small electric razor is the same as adam. i have been using mine for ages
I love a rock flake salt we have. It makes such a difference. And way tastier than other salts. It's got a sweetness to it. I've never thought about bringing it with me however. Until now 🧂🧂
Nice video sir
Does the temporary tattoo cover the things you would do differently if you had to redo the ruler tattoo?
This is really very interesting, I'm waiting for a heart from Adam.
I am intrigued about these. I recently discovered that sound tools has some pouches that are similar and I have started going down the pouch route. It's hard to find things that are small yet to keep things organized. I have two sets so far. Red is used for cameras, I have two mevos so far and all cables and accessories and a clamp are in there and it fits the camera in its case really nicely. I have another pouch for what I'm calling receivers it's about 5 FM radios that I can hand out if somebody wants to listen to something I'm working on Poor man's IFB. I have another one thats set up with a bunch of things and cables for something I need to test and do a video about which I haven't gotten to but also cables that I might have to rummage through. And I have another one that's got some microphone adapters. I found out the canvas that thay use lens itself really well to be marked with that white marking pen so I have them numbered.
these will definitely be considered next time I'm looking for pouches they look like they might be a heavier duty and they're already numbered.
While traveling I would use ziplock bags but definitely similar arrangements. Hygiene, medical, electronics and utility items that I will call it that weren't in a ziplock, but in a more secured device for safety.
The curtain pull bead is Adam's stuffy. Adorbs.
I really love the pouch set - is it available in europe somewhere?
Freezer zip gallon bags work well for this. Light and no need to search for what number has which things. Its clear and immediate. One has “toiletries” with teeth stuff in a separate smaller bag than hair stuff. Meds have a smaller bag too. Like subfolders on your hard drive. These can last many trips before needing to be replaced because its not that harsh a use
Yep. I do this too. Keeping my shampoo bottle isolated from my toothbrush was the first major reason I did it, but I have found it so helpful for everything small. And I only travel once or twice a year, so I have been using the same bag for some of them for 10 years without noticeable degradation.
I always travel with a wadded up plastic grocery bag. It takes up almost no space and some weird use for it always comes up. Also, a film canister full of 12mm dice.
Something to add to that little medical kit, the OTC lidocaine patches you can get at Walmart under the Solanpas brand are fantastic for burns. Common glassblowing problem, cold glass and hot glass look very much alike. Cut off piece of lidocaine patch secured with some medical tape makes a world of difference. I'd imagine you've got no shortage of places to pick up those medically insignificant, but agonizing, little burns
Love this idea - have you ever considered using different colored zippers for each of the pouches? Just for a little more visual differentiation...
Nice to see Maldon Salt!
Being a fixer/maker I always feel undressed without some basic tools. Micro screwdrivers, pvc tape and self amalgamation tape, 4 and 6 inch adjustable open end, multiple screwdrivers which also double as nut drivers, 16 and 24 gage stranded wire, Leatherman super tool, extra needle nose pliers, eyeglass screw kit, cheap multi-meter, folding utility knife, and side cutters. Pen pencil bag was made from an old suede jacket.
I also carry a comfort rock in my toiletries bag. I found it on the beach right after both my Grandma and my 18 yo cat I had since a kitten had passed within three days.
Oh yeah! Murray River flake salt ftw!
Would be useful to have a small window slot / place to put a card so you can mark contents in it. I know there are only 5 to remember contents but, well you know. Also, dividers would help.
I’m surprised you don’t have a “tool kit” pouch. I travel a lot and like to tinker/ fix/ make and have a kit with my Swisschamp, HOTO precision screwdriver, Knipex pliers, a pair of Olfa scissors I love, snap knife, 6” straight edge, and a few more odds and ends.
I wish each nylon loop at the top corner was a different color for each bag. Would aid in a quick identification when pulling them out from inside a large bag from above.
Scrolled through the comments to see if anyone had requested the plans to these like the other plans available from savage industries and not seen it. I’m another U.K. viewer and whilst I’d happily buy a set the cost will double easily by the time shipping is added and the tax man here takes a pound of flesh!
I know they are fairly simple as a make but I really like the little end tabs and the size of these seem great as little pockets like these often don’t swallow what these appear to as that dopp kit was filled with way more than I expected 😂
Omg! I thought that I was the only person traveling with a bunch of stuff like that 😊
Adam, consider adding an Aussie FRED (Field Ration Eating Device) to your gear. It's a military can opener with a spoon end attached. Mine helped me get into my car once, on a freezing day...
I have tea, stevia and crystal light… but why did I not have salt!?! Doh! Putting some in my kit now 😂
Btw, love this video! Grew up watching you and I take comfort seeing how we have some of the same things in our kits😊
Hi Adam! Nonsequitur, but have you checked out Gamblin's Reclaimed Earth paints? They clean up water polluted with iron released from mines, and use that iron to make pigments! Where are you going to get a better rust colour than, y'know... rust?
ooo do you have sholder straps on your tool bag i modded mine to have sholder straps as its just handy
Honestly suprised adam doesnt keep a small notebook in his pocket at all times. I been doing it for a while now and its damn usefull.
The best flaky salt is Maldon. Can you share a link for the earplug you use! Thanks
So, instead of index cards, a friend of mine used to carry a pocketful of unused punch cards with him everywhere. Much longer than index cards, and probably a bit narrower. But he used them the same way you use index cards.
As a minimalist, this makes my head explode. As someone who loves organization and good bag ergonomics, I love this. #YinYang
I would like to see bag #42.
That's an awesome pouch set, I only wish you had an European Savage Industries warehouse which includes tax, etc. Too be honest, I only buy things outside the EU if VAT is included. Just easier and a lot harder to make any mistakes (like amount of money, etc). 🤘
Adam what’s the bag you are taking everything out of? I’m in need of a good travel bag to carry items I use as a coin dealer collector. Could you do a quick review of it, how it’s holding up because I’m sure your put it through it’s paces.
Thank you - my eyes went to that immediately.
It is either a Savage Industries EDC One or EDC Two...
I like clear plastic pencil cases for the same thing (you can see the contents at a glance) but next time one needs replacing i'll likely be moving away from plastic (because, y'know, planet).
(for camping especially I use one as a mini "possibles" bag with needle and thread, duct tape, cordage, superglue, plasters etc. in case either my gear or my person need repairs)
You don't have that Lamy fountain pen you had the other day in that bag #3. I am a bit of an enthusiast about FPs and I am curious if you stuck to using it or not 🤔
The bags 9.5"x6".. X 5= $25ea=$125.. quality of the cloth zipper, loops. I say if you got the clams. Good buy. 😃

Shouldn't the large bead go in the "comforts of home" bag? It came from your childhood HOME AND it gives you COMFORT!
This was interesting but somehow I thought Adam would have much nore unusual things in his bags! That said, I can (hopefully) assume he has another bag for things like toothbrush, tooth paste, deodorant, and the stuff one normally puts in a Dopp kit.
One thing I always carried in my tech/cables bag was an international outlet adaptor.
